I meant inf autogun

#

woops

gritty mural
#

with the infantry lasgun ammo buffs I guess you'll never run out of ammo if you have survivalist but when was running out of ammo ever a problem with the lasgun...

bold sierra
#

Agripana Inf Autogun with death spitter + 50% cleave (which zealot also has and now vet as well) will be very nice to cleave through trash horde in H40

gilded wraith
#

Cool, I like the recoil on that one.

somber axle
#

it's probably to make it more attractive for expeditions

somber axle
#

assuming ammo is harder to find outside of the sanctuaries they mentioned

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

good but not exactly super game changing

gilded wraith
#

I've got an 80/62 on my zealot... Sadly not my vet.

gritty mural
#

Infantry lasgun would be cool to use if end game content wasn't armor spam designed to challenge overtuned weapons such as the dueling sword

silver patrol
#

also add strength multipliers

tall torrent
#

2.1 * (1+0.065x5) * 1.5

hollow ibex
#

oh what the fuck

#

oh rightw ith strength mult

gilded wraith
#

What's the cleave on slug special?

tall torrent
#

with double rending picks it's close

#

but not actually reliable still

#

u'd need presumably 15m+ since that's where it ends the dmg falloff

#

and also, getting double rending on vet tree is cursed

#

it's just not worth going for

bold sierra
# hollow ibex good but not exactly super game changing

I mean yeah, not Flamer/Plasma type cleave, but AT LEAST for Zealot, I'm able to reliable kill shooters as well with inf autogun, while also able to deal with horde decently reliably, especially with Blazing Piety crits for inf autogun. I think with Vet with how reliable you can proc crits, I think there'll be some nice builds for it.

bold sierra
# tall torrent 13~14m

yeah it was probably 15m, cuz I tagged once and it was 15m I think. It was probably just the tagging. But yeah like I said it's not the most reliable, and I dont really build FOR it xD

bold sierra
# hollow ibex good but not exactly super game changing

and I have been able to out ranged-kills with agripana infantry autogun against vet plasma be4 in H40 believe it or not (many times, but it depends on how they play), the extra cleave for agripana inf autogun does go pretty nicely

tho admittedly, most of the times I didnt need to tho.

the cleave wide shot one

#

and the fire one too it should

tame lodge
#

Once again, refer to the Manstopper comment

#

But also true

#

They have like 4.5 cleave

bold sierra
#

yeah manstopper is silly, i think I kinda followed up off the mark a bit there

void dragon
#

you folks believe that the new Inf lasguns will have a place? or the recon lasguns are still better in every way?

bold sierra
#

it'll be A LOT more ammo-efficient than recon, and it'll be a lot more reliable at headshots cuz hitbox increase

#

and that unyielding dmg+, very nice

void dragon
tall torrent
bold sierra
#

I got a number of videos made with it

#

personally I prefer it wayyy over vig auto, but to people's own

tall torrent
#

Vig auto is just better breakpoints

#

Doesn’t need MF to hit 1 burst kills

#

So u can run it on a conventionally strong hybrid setup and achieve the same results

bold sierra
#

it's just a number of things which make me prefer ilas more than vig

#

well to be specific, i prefer ilas more on vet, and vig more on zealot

void dragon
#

Also wondering if the infernus blessing could work with teh mk2b

bold sierra

cunning haven
#

plz help me decide

last marten
#

left

cunning haven
#

i like the grenades 🙂

tame lodge
#

I'd say left because you can mix match black with anything and it'll look good

bold sierra
#

and it does help out killing some elites too without spending an extra shot here and there

hollow ibex
#

infernus on ilas is a choice...

bold sierra
void dragon
#

you take head hunter?

bold sierra
#

it's not that bad really, it does add up dmg for boss

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

it's pretty bad

bold sierra
#

but I prefer GHost these days

#

and probably will opt in Efficiency too

#

Headhunter + Efficiency next patch will be VERY good

void dragon
#

i feel that Target down + deadshot would help it trigger quite often for damage while keeping a good ammo efficient hip fire gun

void dragon
bold sierra
#

I'll say deadshot should be used if you got the stam-regen keystone nodes

#

but ofc it's not impossible to make it work without

void dragon
#

its manage of stamina, and taking target down fits for the support theme to give toughness to the team all time

bold sierra
bold sierra
#

focus target with stam-regen on kill should be pretyt decent to keep your stam 0>

# void dragon I'm thinking on making a support oriented build with it, using the extra ammo to...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPsZ6te-vf0&t=6s here's a vid of mine running inf lasgun with exec stance + focus target in H40.

Build at the end.

This is a good setup, but again you're going to need to be a bit more vigilant and look out for Poxbursters. Exec Stance is also a pretty good melee ability with its 100% stun-resist after all.

Tbh i'm starting to like Power Sabre more than Power Sword, it just got really good mobility stats compared to Power Sword. Got pre...

#

I'd even say, you dont even really need deadshot for infernus

#

usually monsters leave their heads pretty bare, and only need a few crits to get full fire stacks anyway

bold sierra
# void dragon I'm thinking on making a support oriented build with it, using the extra ammo to...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToopVtdWGTE an older video but still relevant (until next update that is), somewhat more basic, VoC + Marksman Focus.

Build at the end.

Infantry Lasgun imo is a pretty underated gun, a very good all-rounder weapon, that is INSANELY ammo-efficient (with Shocktrooper ofc), Marksman's Focus is such a goated keystone, if you can keep up the stacks (which is actually quite easy), it's HUGE damage.

Infantry Lasguns are overall pretty damn great at sniping ranged ...

giga boss dmg

void dragon
#

i see infernus more reliable to fight stuff like maulers and the plasma gunners, since you only need a rapid flick of the ADS to stack fire

bold sierra
#

at least for me, in H40, things can be really hectic for you to keep track of that and make use of it fully

#

but it does help here and there.

bold sierra
# void dragon I'm thinking on making a support oriented build with it, using the extra ammo to...

probably not what ur looking for, but here's another one I ran in H40, the classic Exec Stance ilas setup lol, w/ Marksman's Focus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3bcDPlsVRs

Build at the end.

The OG inf lasgun Exec Stance point and click setup, and honestly pretty damn amazing...even BETTER if the user actually can aim, unlike me lol. Ghost helps you A LOT at just simply NOT getting shredded, just dont get too tunnel-visioned and actually use your melee, then you're golden.

And actually, Exec Stance is pretty damn...

▶ Play video
#

you can run a lot of different setups with ilas and can make it work pretty well

#

and I'm not even that good of a shot...I have a hard time with headshots, and hoping next patch the hitbox increase on the ilas will help with it xD

#

ilas is that gun if you're amazing with your aim and headshots, it's bloody amazing, cuz of its great sustain.

livid sphinx
#

I guess vet will be the best class for the new mode since its much more open

tame lodge
#

Never had any trouble dealing with open area anyways

#

Independent of the class

#

But that's just me

#

I'm goated like that

pseudo fiber
#

Good start.

void dragon
#

@bold sierra i think i have something nice to use with the inf lasgun when the 17th come, time will tell if i move from my stance of using the superior inf lasgun (Helbore mk5) to use the new stuff, thanks for the pointers mate

final locust
#

curious

#

they add anything cool recently?

void dragon
#

they just showcase a lot of stuff that will come the 17th with the new mode and a lot of changes for all classes

final locust
#

nice

final locust
void dragon
#

cosmetics is something Obesefish still keep us in the dark

turbid ibex
#

new cosmetics that is

#

from penances

final locust
#

All I want

#

is some even cooler cadian stuff I can spend my money on

#

a helmet with the mask and the little orange visor thing would be cool

tall torrent
#

Right now

tidal fox
#

are their specific details that they gave about weapon changes?

#

or is it vague

#

I'm a bit lazy to check

tall torrent
#

But we do know the general changes

tidal fox
#

such as

tall torrent
#

Plasma changes

#

Infantry lasgun changes

tidal fox
#

uhoh

tall torrent
#

Etc

tidal fox
#

are they nerfing or buffing plasma

#

or we dont know

void dragon

Adjustment

#

Plasma we actually have details for

#

Hipfire cleave reduced from 55.125 to 18 (nerf)
Charge shot ammo cost reduced from 5-9 to 1-8 (buff)
Wield timescale reduced from 1 to 0.85 (nerf)

tidal fox
#

oof the cleave is taking a hit

#

how bad is that actually

#

cause the cleave is a big reason plasma is so cracked

#

I personally rarely use charge shot though

tall torrent
#

18 cleave is still huge

void dragon
#

the charge shot will have its cleave still?

tall torrent
tidal fox
#

that's a pretty big drop tho but I am not familiar with the math so I'm assuming it'll still be good for mixed horde sniping

tall torrent
#

So I think the intended change is for u to use min-charge shots

#

Because they do more damage than hipfire

void dragon
#

wonderful, finally we can use the charged shots like the Emperor planed

tall torrent
#

And with the ammo cost reduction they might have pretty good damage/ammo efficiency

tidal fox
#

hmm is the min charge shot quicker than hipfire?

#

or is it slower by a bit

tall torrent
#

It depends on what the min ammo spend for charge shot is

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

Next update it might be 3 or 4

tidal fox
#

im a sucker for quick snipes so I might still be falling for the hipfire trap

tall torrent
#

There’s no trap

#

Hipfire still super strong

tidal fox
#

ye but the ammo

#

how much ammo does hiupfiure use?

tall torrent
#

3

#

Unchanged

tidal fox
#

ye that's pretty hungry

#

especially cause im usually the only guy sniping specialists

#

but then again that's just a solo queue issue

#

definitely excited tho cause I do want other vet guns to actually be good

tall torrent
#

Plasma change is not a big nerf

#

They went really conservative with this

tidal fox
#

I dont think it was too strong tbh it's just that the other guns are pretty crap in comparison

void dragon
#

it was VERY strong

#

the changes will make it more fair than impact its overall performance

tidal fox
#

it is pretty strong actually ill admit

#

but it's not tooooo bad

#

just compared against other stuff it looks outrageously good

tall torrent
#

It’s too strong

#

Esp since 1.9 made vet tree better

tidal fox
#

are they doing anything with vet talent tree or no

#

or do we not kno

tall torrent
#

We do know

#

Just watch the vid above lol

tidal fox
#

yeah youre right ill just do that lmao

tidal fox
#

ooooo the shout change on vet

#

that one is crazy

void dragon
#

Will make you need to judge when it's a moment to give your team lots of defensive buffs instead of just spamming it

tidal fox
#

the subtalents do remain mutually exclusive still yeah?

#

if so that's gonna be a hard pick

#

but I've begun to hate having to be a supporter for my team these days

#

probably not gonna care much for it but it's still a good change imo

void dragon
tidal fox
#

ok that is actually a pretty big buff then

#

gives vet more clutch potential

#

which I like

hollow ibex
livid sphinx
#

Wait we have patch notes now???

tall torrent
tall torrent
tidal fox
#

but this has a 10 sec cooldown increase and the radius stays the same

#

pretty huge if you ask me

livid sphinx
#

Oh okay

manic umbra
tall torrent
#

not a big deal, you would run one motion with it anyway

livid sphinx
#

Oh wow. RIP plasma

#

Oh well it was a good run

tall torrent
livid sphinx
#

I dont understand the buff on the infantry lasgun

void dragon
manic umbra
#

Ngl still seems like it’ll be the best

livid sphinx
#

Why do they need to increase ammo capacity on it when ammo was never a problem for infantry lasgun lol

manic umbra
#

Not really that bad of a nerf

#

but curious to see how much of a cleave nerf it is

hollow ibex
manic umbra
#

but we get a + cleave node to compensate

livid sphinx
#

I do wonder how the new range cleave perk will affect the plasma secondary

hollow ibex
livid sphinx
#

since he said that plasma secondary will still have infinite cleave

#

Maybe the secondary will be the new thing to spam instead of the primary

#

except now people will have to actually manage the heat

tall torrent
tidal fox
warm swallow
#

What perks do i want on helbore?

hybrid plover
#

it's significantly better than how it currently works

tidal fox
#

yeah now that you give piss toughness AND there's no radius reduction in the revive it is literally game saving

hollow ibex
#

what is this

#

infil?

livid sphinx
#

I'm happy they're actually nerfing shout massively

tidal fox
#

it's just 10 seconds bro

hollow ibex
#

10s is a long ass time in a game like this

livid sphinx
#

10 seconds is 1/3

#

of the original one

hollow ibex
#

like infil cd was terrible

#

and that was 45s lol

tidal fox
#

ok havoc is probabyl gonna take a hit with shout usage

#

but aside from that

#

general buff

livid sphinx
#

Yeah that's the only downside

hybrid plover
#

but infiltrate itself isn't actually great

tidal fox
#

ong who run infiltrate in the big 26 💀

livid sphinx
#

Vet is gonna get butchered in havoc KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
#

infil itself is fine

hollow ibex
#

it's mostly the cd that was the issue

tidal fox
hollow ibex
#

and teammate griefing KEKW_ogryn

tidal fox
#

he'll be aight

livid sphinx
#

I've always preferred executioner anyway

#

Which the update will buff

#

I think im pregnant after I read that

tidal fox
#

NINE second exe stance

#

that is pretty insane

livid sphinx
#

Plus you get the additional toughness regen from the last major update

tidal fox
#

I already keep exe stance refreshed for like a solid minute

#

having it on for 9 seconds is gonna make it even more valuable

livid sphinx
#

I cant even die whenever I'm on exe stance and now its 9 seconds

#

So like you are practically invulnerable except against pox and trappers

hybrid plover
#

50?

#

uh

#

are you sure about that?

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

there's a gosh darn video

#

Revive shout has literally no downside

#

It's full on gone. But shout base CD was increased to 40s

#

The only technical downside is that you need a talent point for it

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

The downsides are gone.

#

The only effect is that you revive downed players. That's it.

tidal fox
#

what is the current cd on shout?

hybrid plover
#

40s

willow rain
#

I don't take it personally

hybrid plover
#

Which, honestly.

#

I kinda don't like.

tidal fox
hybrid plover
#

OH WAIT

tidal fox
#

if so this is a MASSIVE buff

hybrid plover
#

it's 30

#

currently

tidal fox
#

ok yeah

#

ok

#

it's reasonable

hybrid plover
#

40s after change

#

Which

willow rain
#

Real shit, why does taking a second charge of infiltrate come with a downside but zealots get a second rush for free

tidal fox
#

10 sec increase for reviving teammates in addition to gold toughness sounds like a good deal

hybrid plover
#

Honestly, I was hoping they'd keep shout CD the same

livid sphinx
#

Because infiltrate is for griefing

#

Kappa

hybrid plover
#

But golden toughness node increases cooldown

willow rain
livid sphinx
#

Oh jesus. I just realized this is the last 3 days until the plasma gets bent over

void dragon
#

people SERIOUSLY think this changes will make Plasma garbo

#

disgraceful

tame lodge
#

The extra wielding time might sting a little at first

void dragon
#

that one is probably an odd change, true

tame lodge
#

But basically it's just an M2 buff lol

void dragon
#

is not even like m1 is now terrible

livid sphinx
#

The video said that the cleave on m1 will be nerfed to death

tame lodge
#

18 is too high to be considered dead

void dragon
#

yes it will be stupid strong instead of stupid broken beyond understanding

#

is there any other weapon with that much cleave?

livid sphinx
#

I'm assuming that the primary way to use plasma will be to spam m2 but now you actually have to manage the heat to not explode

tame lodge
#

Nothing changed about m1

#

Except cleave

#

You can just spam M1 still

livid sphinx
#

Ifninite cleave is a huge part of m1

narrow frost
#

its not infinite

tame lodge
#

It wasn't even infinite

livid sphinx
#

You know what I mean

tame lodge
#

Anyways

#

No damage nerf mentioned

#

So M1 breakpoints will still remain the same

#

And you'll still be able to insta kill 5 dreg ragers

livid sphinx
#

Yeah true. And it will be godlike in the new mode too

tame lodge
#

If anything this is just an M2 buff

#

And as someone that tried M2 builds in the past

#

I welcome it

livid sphinx
#

I've always thought the plasma gun was meant to be played with m2 but then they fucked it up

#

I mean even during launch everyone thought m2 was the way to play the plasma

deep bone
#

I am very happy about the Exe stance buff

#

Always welcome

#

Infantry las got some nice buffs

#

Will be intriguing to try out with the new efficiency blessing change aswell

#

I already very rarely run out of ammo with ILAS Exe Stance so I guess infinite ammo is cool lol

#

Gonna have to start running the bandana

#

MK.IIb will be quite fun to try

livid sphinx
#

Not even not doing the reload animation cancel on the plasma can fuck up exe stance anymore KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
deep bone
#

Indeed

#

Brilliant

#

Greatest thing to happen since the invention of bread

#

The other buffs it got were rather epic tho

#

Less recoil on the IIb

#

And making it easier to hit targets

#

Will make the gun a bit less jarring to use in a panic

#

Gonna replace my Vigilant Autogun on my Exe stance build now

hybrid plover
livid sphinx
#

Ever heard of hyperbole?

hybrid plover
#

No. chadgryn

slow sky
#

unironically

#

we cant really tell

amber vortex
#

Know what this won't kill?

#

THE CHAINSWORD

calm prairie
#

cant kill whats already dead

hybrid plover
#

like people who think the pickpocket change will kill ranged scum

#

just a lot of crazy talk

tall torrent
#

if pickpocket got a long CD on top of being melee activation, prob

#

I think it needs like a 40s+ CD on top tbh

gentle lake
#

is heavy laspistol a good idea on vet

dry cloak
#

by heavy you mean heaviest infatry lasgun?

gentle lake
dry cloak
#

less cleave on left click

#

but charging up uses less ammo

gentle lake
#

oh thats kinda cool

slow sky
dry cloak
#

always was

#

it was simply overshadowed by spamming light attacks

sharp epoch
#

dam theyre nerfing vet hard

dry cloak
#

no

#

they arent

sharp epoch
#

im pretty sure 90% of vets run plasma and shout

dry cloak
#

let them cry

sharp epoch
#

and theyre shafting those pretty hard

dry cloak
#

plasma is more of a power shift

#

less cleave on m1 but m2 eats less ammo

#

shout nerf was due long ago

sharp epoch
#

shouts been getting nerfs like every big patch i think its been worse than its other class counter parts since they nerfed tac awareness

#

bubble and chorus were way better

sharp epoch
toxic reef
#

shout is/was just an easy slot

#

fire and forget

#

bubble and chorus ate way too much DPS in comparison

#

like melee vet wants shout

sharp epoch
#

if melee vet had chorus/bubble theyd take those over shout

toxic reef
#

exec stance is hardly trash, it def adds DPS but only for range

#

and idk if I would want to spend 10 secs locked in to chorus as vet

#

I barely want to on zealot as is

#

bubble would ofc not make any sense on vet

sharp epoch
#

You can probably make a thing that would fit vet aesthetics similar to bubble like some shield device, but I'd prefer a bubble to current shout

dry cloak
#

exe stance add fuck ton of dps on proper weapons

#

like vigis

#

helbores

#

sap

toxic reef
#

any precision weapon ye

#

in tandem with MMF

#

I do like infiltrate buff for the sole reason that it works great on shredder builds as is

#

since if you underhand throw you don't break stealth

sharp epoch
#

you probably dont play havoc do you

toxic reef
#

I do h40 with vet

dry cloak
#

havoc is a state of mind

toxic reef
#

not with shredders

#

just standard PS plasma vet

sharp epoch
#

I think people are gonna stop playing vet for havoc tbh the skill floor is being raised

toxic reef
dry cloak
#

builds will cahnge simple as

toxic reef
#

I mean I could prob just run the same build

#

like shout is a bit less often, fine

#

I will still snipe specials with plasma, don't need inf cleave for that

sharp epoch
#

Plasma would probably be less viable too with no cleave its less ammo efficient

toxic reef
#

I mean it'll only change wallbangs prob

#

I'm not using plasma to kill conga lines really

#

and inf to 18 is still the highest cleave of any ranged option

livid sphinx
#

Hopefully they also weaken the heat build up on m2

dry cloak
#

charged up plasma has more cleave still

toxic reef
#

heat build is good tho

dry cloak
#

remember that

toxic reef
#

ye you can prob afford to do small charges now

dry cloak
#

from 5-9 to 1-8

sly orchid
toxic reef
#

the swap time is gonna hurt tho

dry cloak
#

one motion stock go up

toxic reef
#

I mean you run that already

sharp epoch
#

but gunlugger ogryn will be fun hopefully havoc viable

dry cloak
#

it wont be

toxic reef
#

yeah it's almost always taunt

#

tho charge can be clutch at times

dry cloak
#

charge will get stocks up

toxic reef
#

I just wish it was easier to control the length of it

dry cloak
#

stagger unstaggerables

sharp epoch
#

Charge is actually good for those armor type modifiers

toxic reef
#

I mean it will still stop on monstrosities right?

#

what are the new targets staggered

dry cloak
sharp epoch
toxic reef
#

ah ok

#

ye ig but it feels a bit wonky

tall torrent
#

18 cleave is still way too much tbh

sharp epoch
#

for the size of the projectile it really wasnt that impactful

tall torrent
#

I'd have nerfed it to 6.5 or 6

#

18 is still very high

#

m2 change could be rly good if the new min ammo cost for charge shot is as low as I think

errant bear
tall torrent
#

blaze away is not even the best pick on plasma

dry cloak
#

idk i dont use plasma

toxic reef
#

rising heat and gets hot is standard on plasma

#

which doesn't care if you use charged or not

errant bear
sharp epoch
#

I really dont like how clunky m2 is too they should removed the animation if its going to be part of its kit

toxic reef
#

not being able to overheat down yourself is so free anyway

tall torrent
#

but that "hitting ~50% harder in 1 shot" actually changes breakpoints

tall torrent
#

but again this is not actually telling what the new min cost is

dry cloak
#

rest might now

tall torrent
#

because u can't actually fire charged at 5 ammo

#

the current gun's lowest possible charge shot ammo cost is 7

dry cloak
#

lets assume its the current minimum for the sake of convo

tall torrent
#

which I'm guessing is somewhere around 50% ish charge lvl

#

because m1 is coded as 52.5% charge lvl

#

I'm also assuming that, m2's charge lvl is nonlinear scale

sly orchid
#

Make plasma gun randomly explode

tall torrent
#

then charge min is actually relevant

errant bear
tall torrent
#

lol

toxic reef
#

FS strikes again with their wordings

silver patrol
toxic reef
tall torrent
#

On reaching 19% heat, and per 18% heat above, gain +4 / 6 / 8 / 10% ranged crit damage and +5.5 / 7 / 8.5 / 10% global crit chance (up to 5 stacks) while ranged weapon is in hand.

errant bear
#

That is interesting

silver patrol
#

there is a similar psyker blessing

#

if you read it as is, it's garbage

toxic reef
#

whenever it says scales, just assumes it means additive stacks

#

I usually run WS for plasma as well so you get 100% crit on first shot regardless of heat level and then you can just build up heat if you need to shoot more than once

tall torrent
#

and, if ur wondering why rising heat over blaze away
it's better to have more reliable 1 taps on important enemies for a gun with not that ammo in spare for magdumping

toxic reef
#

yeah it's usually only reapers eating a lot of shots

tall torrent
#

reaper is just 2hs

#

however

#

min-charge m2 being ~50% more dmg than m1

#

means u can reach reaper 1hs in h40 on stance, with other dmg buffs active, on crit hs

#

without unyielding dmg perk btw

toxic reef
#

huh, I always felt like they were 3 shots in h40

#

is it final toll?

#

or ig I didn't have all buffs always

#

and ig I'm not stance either

ye I think it's just when I'm already shooting other stuff and then target the reapers

tall torrent
#

efficiency on inf las IX next update might be peak

#

just did the maths

#

on current mag size (108), u can fire 36 shots with IX

#

with post-buff efficiency, that would be 54 shots (50% more) if u fire as fast as possible
idk what new mag size is but it's bigger than current

errant bear
toxic reef
#

ok

mystic pilot
#

Huh so they've nerfed voice of command a bit by increasing cooldown from 30 to 40 seconds. But only in death had its drawbacks removed.

#

Oh wow no more infinity cleave on plasma normal shot. And the shark thinks the infantry lasgun's situation is poor ammo capacity???

cunning haven
#

it needs more ammo. it will always need more ammo

#

will withering fire +50% ranged cleave be any good?

fickle narwhal
#

is there any trick to reload faster the plasma gun?

silver patrol
#

you can cancel a part of the reload animation if you sprint or such

#

but it's not that muhc

errant bear
#

You can switch to your melee and fight what's in front of you

fickle narwhal
#

i see thanks!

olive halo
#

is the power sword a weapon that benefits from crit builds?

#

or are skill points better invested elsewhere?

errant bear
#

It does not have great scaling for crits

olive halo

alright, thank you

survivalist stacks with veterans default aura?

tame lodge
#

Fym finally son?

#

Ranged vet has been around already

last marten
#

i always assumed the ammo return rounded up

tame lodge
#

I'm calling you observation biased and I'm not elaborating further 🫵

#

I don't remember if it stacks

#

But I do know it rounds down

#

But don't worry, they save the numerals after the dot

#

Imagine you get 1.33 ammo back

#

You get 1 ammo and save .33

#

Next time you get 1 ammo and save another .33 so now you have .66 saved

#

Once the decimals hit 1 you gain 2 ammo

i love how well this is explained in game

#

Exe Stance buffs

#

Baseline up to 6 sec, 9 sec with the Ogryn talent node

tame lodge
#

It wasn't needed but we ain't complaining

somber axle
#

Voice of Command nerfed with a minor buff to the revive talent node (30 sec CD -> 40 sec CD but the increased CD on picking revive shout was removed)

tame lodge
#

Gold toughness still 10?

somber axle
#

I don't think there were any other changes to VoC listed from what I remember

tame lodge
#

Ok so no biggie

fickle narwhal
#

what do you think it's better for clearing hordes?¿

somber axle
#

Oh also they're removing Get Back in the Fight to swap it with a node that gives +50% ranged cleave instead

last marten
somber axle
#

Power Sword and it isn't even close

atomic void
#

CANON DE PLASMA

tame lodge
atomic void
#

did u mean ESPADA DE ENERGIA

fickle narwhal
#

are those the better bleesing for the power sword?

tame lodge
#

No no
I meant Espada de energia

fickle narwhal
somber axle
#

Power Cycler and either Brutal Momentum or Sunder iirc?

tame lodge
#

Yeah Power Cycler + Brutal Momentum or Sunder

somber axle
#

But Power Cycler is the most important

fickle narwhal
#

thanks!

tame lodge
#

You're currently running Power Cycler and Sunder thumbsup_ogryn

fickle narwhal
#

what enemies should i pick for power sword buff damage? flak armoreds and crusher maybe?

tame lodge
#

Unyielding/Flak/Carapace

floral hearth

#

I live for the Crusher

#

I love the Crusher

mystic pilot
south spindle
#

Infil buffs could be interesting

turbid ibex
#

i doubt they will be enough but its better than nothing

#

i still wish the move speed buff lingered like the damage buff does at least

unreal totem
#

shout bug

unreal totem
#

I shouted right when the plague ogryn hit me

#

the shout didn't come out but the game thought it did

#

and bugged

tough nova
#

Shout seems like there's some input problem or sumthin. Sometimes I use it and it goes gray but the ability doesnt activate.

trail ore
void dragon
#

someone know how are the Heavy sword changes? how much is the rending from the special? can it finally kill a crusher in less than 3 buisness days?

silver patrol
#

10% brittleness irrc

#

so good try, but better luck next time

void dragon
#

it is first and most a horde cutter weapon, but if it can let you box crushers without taking the best years of your life it will be a good win

tame lodge
#

Apparently they are going for Bladed Momentum enabling type of deal

dreamy vortex
#

I love no pics in gen chat

#

I love sending shit here instead

amber vortex
#

I know, right?

flat nexus
#

very retro

dreamy vortex
#

Yeah they're tuff

#

They also have Mecha Godzilla, Ghidorah, and Shin Godzilla

flat nexus
dreamy vortex
#

Shin Godzilla actually had 2 designs

#

One is purple and the other is red

#

They also got these inverted versions where the black and other color are swapped

#

I think I actually like this more than black being the main color

#

At least for this specific one

flat nexus
#

In different colours, I could see that

is there anywhere to look for the vet buffs/nerfs?

i'm not sure if there's a write up with the changes

dense belfry
#

I want to use Dueling sword, but it's not very good at horde clearing.
My friend wants me to use Power sword instead, but i want to keep DS for it's better Single Target damage.

#

What would you recommend?

narrow frost
#

Psword has better single target then DS

dense belfry
#

Much slower, though.

narrow frost
#

if you want horde clear try double barrel

narrow frost
#

movement or time to kill?

dense belfry
#

I don't like having to power up my sword every 3 swings.

narrow frost
#

fair

#

most dont

dense belfry
#

Time to kill isn't fast enough for me. And there WILL be situations where u don't have a krak yet.

silver patrol
#

but it has less time to kill

narrow frost
#

Psword has the best ttk for everything

#

if used properly

dapper coyote
narrow frost
#

but its annoying to use with its 3 hit then charge

fading girder
#

what about the chainsword (im new-sih to the game and have little idea about gooding a good build lmao)

dapper coyote
fading girder
calm prairie
#

unfortunately not

narrow frost
dapper coyote
narrow frost
#

save materials by using the random weapon at the end of the mission

#

to experiment

dapper coyote
#

Despite it says versatile, it aint

dense belfry
narrow frost
#

as I said before, its all fine

#

what are looking for then

turbid ibex
#

chainsword is aight for hordes but as soon as any carapace shows up youre fucked

dapper coyote
#

Im using pfal because we have relic blade at home

silver patrol
#

relic butter knife

fading girder
dense belfry
narrow frost
#

double barrel

dense belfry
#

Fr?

narrow frost
#

yes

dapper coyote
#

Yes

silver patrol
#

with weapon specialist

fading girder
dense belfry
turbid ibex
#

DB needs weapon specialist for the guaranteed crit so it can horde clear

silver patrol
#

and to avoid that shitass reload

turbid ibex
#

true

silver patrol
#

but yeah the idea is you kill like 3 guys with melee, switch to the shotgun with manstopper, destroy an horde, switch to melee and repeat

somber axle
silver patrol
#

node so bad they are now forcing you to take it?

mystic pilot
#

?

#

what node are you referring to?

silver patrol
#

the revive shout

mystic pilot
#

no they removed the penalty

#

before if you took it, you had to take an extra 10 second cooldown and a radius reduction

silver patrol
#

oh about time

#

well they increased cd of the shout baseline

mystic pilot
#

so when the new update is live, it'll be no penalties at all

#

yeah 40 seconds from 30

#

so if I took VoC, I have a choice between extra toughness & staggering enemies and reviving

silver patrol
#

Can't you take both

#

Oh misread

cunning haven
#

i wish i could have the one on the right but black and with grenades 😔

mystic pilot
#

I like my "extra" power packs for my gun 😛

cunning haven
#

give me a pack so i dont need magazines for my recon lasgun 🙏

calm prairie
dry cloak
#

aquilas mate

#

aquilas

calm prairie
#

no

clear mist
#

so i have been useing the revolver alot and now i wanted to try a new gun (that is not plasma) anyone has anything thay coude recommend?

turbid ibex
#

helbore

#

check sniper build on pins

#

also has a double barrel build

clear mist
#

sniper build you say that sounds fun wil give it a try thanks alot ^^

turbid ibex
#

just dont forget to melee enemies that get too close

#

it might be a sniper build but it'll still be about 25% melee gameplay unless you have extremely cracked players for frontliners

clear mist
#

that sounds like it wil fit me since i tend to stay in the back and pick off specials

warm swallow
#

Is psword any good?

hollow ibex
#

no

#

it's literally the best melee in the game

warm swallow
#

Damn

hollow ibex
#

calling it just good is a bit unfair

warm swallow
#

Idk ive been using knife since launch

#

Just got one from gift with 60 mobility

hollow ibex
#

knife def mogs PS in terms of mobility, but PS is unbeatable in damage output

warm swallow
#

What blessing and perks

#

Also does mark matter or just preference

hollow ibex
#

6 is objectively superior

#

carayielding and brumentum/sunder + power cycle 4

warm swallow
#

Sweet thank you

hollow ibex
#

it's not the easiest weapon to use

#

make sure to block cancel charges

#

which you can only do on the 6

#

once you learn the weapon it's godly tho

warm swallow
#

Icic

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

mob is ok as a dump

#

but yeah replace with cleave targets later

#

if you have resources

warm swallow
#

Oh really?

turbid ibex
#

barely any difference in cleave numbers between 60 and 80% and mobility is like the one weakness power sword has

warm swallow
narrow frost
#

sharp epoch

Mobility balances psword

hollow ibex
sharp epoch
hybrid plover
#

That's not a good metric of whether a weapon is good or not at all

#

Because solos are not the normal way to play this game as is.

sharp epoch
hybrid plover
#

Because by that metric, knife is singlehandedly the best weapon in the entire game because you can just cheese the entire run

last marten
sharp epoch
#

what would the best metric be? dps?

hybrid plover
#

But we know. That's not how the game will actually play out in actual practice

last marten
#

my favorite metric is joy and happiness

sharp epoch
hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

Lmao

hollow ibex
#

melee weapons especially are expected to perform multiple roles

sharp epoch
#

It's a horde shooter its pretty similar

last marten
#

fatshark buff the ogryn shield

hybrid plover
#

What are we doing here bringing up a completely different game?

hollow ibex
#

it's not even a tide game bro 😭

hybrid plover
#

Come on.

undone grove
#

OK I haven't played in like a year why are we putting long numbers in our names

hybrid plover
#

I don't even like power sword but I cannot ignore how abrasively powerful it is and the mobility is simply a balance check to make sure it's not ridiculously busted

#

Also

#

Numbers are friend codes

undone grove
#

power sword
is powerful
doesn't like it
Wut

hybrid plover
#

Because I think it's boring.

undone grove
#

well design the interestingsword

hybrid plover
#

The relic blade is right there.

hollow ibex
#

i think psword is actually a pretty interesting weapon

hollow ibex
#

requires a decent amount of practice to use

#

but obscenely powerful once you learn it

warm gulch
hybrid plover
#

I think it's just the lack of variation in the moveset for me

#

It's one note to me

tame lodge
serene bough
#

I was baffled when I learned sharks love to be rotated

u also don't need close quarters killzone

sonic kayak
#

Plays perfectly into the hybrid playstyle that is Vet

hollow ibex
#

i don't mind it but i know a lot of people hate it lol

sonic kayak
#

It has a unique identity to it that perfectly fits Vet

sonic kayak
serene bough
#

I do dislike hitting the power button every 3 swings on the sword

#

But falchion dmg too doodoo to use in place of it

hollow ibex
#

falch damage isn't that bad

#

it's the bad moveset, lack of stagger and long downtime that are the issues

#

naturally none of that was addressed in the buff

frigid kite
#

Pardon me, but can anybody tell me the Dump Stat on Helbore and Plasma Gun?

hollow ibex
#

#

@tired egret for plasma

feral jetty

is that account litearally just for that name

hollow ibex

tho you can dump charge if you can't get a good plasma roll

holy moly

just a 70/70 lol

mighty python
torpid grotto
#

Amazing 🔥

orchid nova
#

Hot take

Reduce Voice of Command CD to 18~25s

#

Then make the gold hp talent increase it to 40s

#

And probably have the revive also increase it to 40s but not stack, both just set to 40

#

It'd be really funny to just not run either and have shout constantly spamming

hybrid plover
#

I think this is a completely valid take actually

#

Golden toughness should debuff cooldown

hollow ibex
#

yeah i wouldn't mind a shorter cd for no gold toughness

#

could actually be interesting

hybrid plover
#

it would actually make not running gold toughness worth doing

#

and that's kind of why they decided to nerf shout as hard as they have to begin with

#

it's not about shout itself

#

it's the golden toughness they're trying to keep in check

#

when the solution to that issue is so ridiculously simple and they keep missing the mark

slow spade
#

yeah VoC is basically a guaranteed 2 point cost now

#

at this point just slap Duty and Honor as a built-in upgrade

turbid ibex
#

shout at a base of 25s cooldown, each subnode gives it an extra 10s of cooldown, give it more subnodes for more buff options you can give to allies

mighty python
#

Best blessing to pair with uncanny strike on a combat knife?

turbid ibex
#

like one node that gives strength/damage to allies in coherency and another that gives move speed and removes weapon movement speed penalties

turbid ibex
mighty python
#

Ty

#

Are weakpoint hits always guaranteed crits or nah

turbid ibex
#

no

mighty python
#

Gotcha, ty

#

What about the best blessing to pair with infernus on the recon lasgun?

turbid ibex
#

dumdum

mighty python
#

Ty

turbid ibex
#

recon pretty much always runs dumdum deathspitter

hollow ibex
#

dumdum + infernus

turbid ibex
#

infernus

#

idk why the fuck i said deathspitter

mighty python
#

Lol no worries

#

Thx guys

hybrid plover
#

golden toughness however

#

nuke that shit

turbid ibex
#

like idk

#

uhhh reviving someone with shout cures one wound of corruption but they cant be shout revived again unless theyre manually revived at least once?

hybrid plover
#

i am not anticipating obesefish to code something like that

turbid ibex
#

me neither

#

its just that 25s cooldown for insta revive anyone in a 9 meter radius feels like it could be a bit too good idk

tall torrent
#

I am somewhat excited for infiltrate buff ngl

#

I remembered that

#

this is the 1 ult on vet that u genuinely don't care abt subnodes for

hybrid plover
#

and that's if you can actually reach them, which sometimes won't be able to happen

turbid ibex
#

eh fair enough ig

#

i just want more teambuff nodes for shout

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

also lingering 30% damage for 8s now

#

thats

#

actually fairly significant

turbid ibex
#

its 20% uptime now instead of just slightly over 10%

#

huge

hybrid plover
#

kinda means melee vet may actually have a new go to

#

since shout's nerfed

tall torrent
#

it's gud dmg but vet CDR still worst of all classes

tall torrent
#

for the stun & slowdown immune

hybrid plover
#

:(

turbid ibex
#

what even is slowdowns

hollow ibex
#

like standing on fire hazard

turbid ibex
#

i see

idr what else there is

tall torrent

It’s very easy to get snowballed into taking multiple hits because of this

hollow ibex

It is quite useful to be immune to it

#

Take Iron Will

dry cloak
lean basin
#

it's that impactful?

maybe i should upgrade infernus perk or i miss something?

dry cloak
lean basin
#

alright then

tight cave
dry cloak
#

with recon lasgun

#

and from who

lean basin
#

should I maybe swap superiority complex to the +15 toughness above iron will?

and even then you shouldnt shoot crushers

you should'nt

oh daaaamn, i dont got enought talent points to make the build work

I shouldn't?
chainsword is that good against them?

blazing jetty
lean basin

there are few weapon on vet that allow for ranged crusher deletion

lvl 23 vet, maybe bolter or plasma gun build are better for me in this case?

just get by until then and start working towards better stuff after that

Level up more then

lean basin
# dry cloak also kraks exist

I should swap to them
I was on frags just because I was trying to get some penances done to then never touch them again

dry cloak
dry cloak
toxic reef
#

just run kraks and use melee for now

they are good

then you dont need to shoot crushers with recon lasgun

at that you SHOULD'NT shoot crushers

tight cave
#

i got the grenade regen and grender perk

dry cloak
tight cave
#

but the issue is that i cant deal damage to karnak bosses, im currently trying to move on missions. Maybe i should just pick random ones and get some levels? On other classes i could kill them without any problem, and suddenly i have them on vet

#

i could do something with bolter, but reload is just comically long and i cant get the bolter to be more viable on my stage

dry cloak
#

eh

#

let me help you

#

you have 30 minutes now?

tight cave
#

is plasma gun still viable? As i remember it was killed multiple times for past 4 years or so

dry cloak

WHAT?

#

where you get this info? your ass?
